no conversation can ever be normal and that’s the law
Zak frowned. “The kids?”
“To them, no matter what name you use, you’re always dad,” Larissa reasoned, sending chills crawling over his skin. “But they should know who their father is. And 𝘺𝘰𝘶 should know who you are.”

Larissa looked up, studying his expression before she answered. “I want you to use the name you feel is 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴. If that’s Zakary, nothing changes. If it’s Anteros, let me know. I’m the only one who would need to adjust within the family, extended and otherwise.”

“Anteros Vasiliev,” Larissa suggested.
“Do you 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 me to use that name again?” Zakary asked. If Larissa liked it—he could learn to forgive it. Zakary had always been a necessity of his new life. A symptom of the problem, not the solution to it.

“That’s who I 𝘸𝘢𝘴,” he reminded her gently. “Our babies are Vasilievs. Our grandbaby will be a Vasiliev. You and Isa are Vasilievs. I’m not going to stop being one now that we’re really getting established.”

“It is jarring, hearing them call you Anteros,” she sighed. “But the longer I know that’s who you are the more I can’t believe I didn’t before. There are so many things about you that make so much more sense now.”

“I know all any of you want right now is to make a new normal where you’re all together again,” Larissa said, “and that the next step is to have all the children together. And that’s fine, but I think you need to tell ours yourself.”

Zak grinned up at her. “You can show them how it’s done, daragaya.”
He was joking but not—he did want them to find some way to bond more deeply than one day together could achieve. With Harmonia, too. If Zak’s sisters could show Larissa true sisterhood, it would be a dream come true.

Larissa smiled and shook her head. “I do miss them.”
“Psyche and my mother were good to you, right?”
“They make terrible tea, but yes.”

“It’s clear they love you with their entire being,” she mused after a while. “And I feel a bit silly for never seeing the resemblance before.”
“I felt a little out of place without my curls,” Zakary chuckled quietly.

Larissa sighed. She didn’t speak again for a little while, but she did stroke her fingers through his hair. Even after all this time, it remained the quickest and easiest way to calm him.

“Because you’d be angry at me?” she finished for him. “Perish the thought.”
“It’s just not something I ever thought I’d have to worry about,” Zak murmured. “Now that I am, it’s weird. I feel like a child.”

Larissa glanced over, incredulous. “Don’t you think you’d have heard about it by now if someone had upset me?”
“Yeah,” he admitted, “unless you didn’t want to tell me because…”
“Yeah,” he admitted, “unless you didn’t want to tell me because…”

“What’d you think?” Zakary asked that night. “Did you…was it alright? Everybody was nice to you?”
January 21, 2026 at 3:00 PM
“What’d you think?” Zakary asked that night. “Did you…was it alright? Everybody was nice to you?”
Zakary sniffled and wiped at his tears as he nodded. “I want that,” he said. “And if…if it’s still open, I have an idea for my old domain.”

Zakary sniffled and wiped at his tears as he nodded. “I want that,” he said. “And if…if it’s still open, I have an idea for my old domain.”
“We would never blame you for how you thought best to respond to that pain,” Harmonia said as Zakary’s tears welled up again. “We just want to be here now, if you’re ready. We want you back with us. We want your children to know us and ours.”

“You waited the longest,” Eros said, “and we understand it was agony. Olympus rewarded you for your patience, gave you all you sought after, but that doesn’t make the years go away. We know that, Anteros. We may not understand how it felt, but we know it hurt you, and that hurts us.”

“You were made to complete us,” Harmonia said in a strained whisper, like the conviction in her words was too strong for her to raise her voice any higher. “And now—look at your family. Your wife and your children and your place in the dimension.”

“You could 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳—I was just…sick. 𝘚𝘪𝘤𝘬 with jealousy, with loneliness, with fear that I would never have what you had. You were all so happy and I didn’t want to be the stain on our family. The shame of it.”

“Of course not,” Harmonia answered first. “We could never.”
“We thought 𝘺𝘰𝘶 despised us,” Eros said softly. “When Mama told us, we thought…we had been insensitive. We had let you down.”

“Do you despise me?” he asked. He wasn’t sure where Cadmus had gone, but odds were he was with Ares, trying to be helpful. It had always annoyed their father how often Harmonia was met with bad luck when Cadmus was supposed to be her shield from it.

He had never dreamed of bringing Larissa here.
But she fit right in. Was now supervising as Psyche made tea and Aphrodite lingered, offering a variety of flavored syrups to both her daughters-in-law.

Time had had no effect on Zakary’s parents house or his memory of it. Walking in was like he’d only gone out for a short stroll. He still knew the smell of sea salt and roses. He knew where the stones in the floor were loose. Where the sun streamed through the windows the brightest.

“The legends say you were winged,” Larissa seemed to remember just then. “Did they get it wrong?”
Eros grinned and Zakary looked away. “Ah, the stories we have to tell our new sister. We’d better get started, right, Anteros?”

“Love and love’s answer,” Larissa said, allowing Eros to press a kiss to the back of her hand as Psyche wrapped Zak in a hug.
“That was always my favorite,” Aphrodite said dreamily. “My baby boys.”
